- Gateway
- Acquirer
- Card Scheme
In the transaction response, the gateway returns one or more codes to the merchant, depending on which stage in the approval process a transaction reaches.

Transaction response workflow
Declined transactions
If a transaction is declined, the gateway's Result Code will be non-zero. For all gateway result codes, see Gateway documentation of result codes.
As an example, a gateway Result Code of 800.100.152
with the Description of transaction declined by authorization system
means the issuer declined the transaction.
There will also be a non-zero Scheme Response Code or Acquirer Response Code and an Extended Description, which can provide more details of why the transaction was declined.
For recurring payments, declined transactions may also have a Visa Category Code or Merchant Advice Code. These codes define whether the transaction was hard-declined due to a permanent issue with the card or soft-declined due to a temporary issue with the card.
- If the transaction is hard-declined, you cannot retry it.
- If the transaction is soft-declined, you can retry it up to 15 times within 30 days of the soft decline.
If there is no Merchant Advice Code, Visa Category Code, or Scheme Response Code, it is possible that the transaction was soft-declined or failed at the payment gateway.
